…auf einer Fan Seite der neuen G N‘ R steht das er angeblich für 3 Songs Gitarre gespielt hat…ich bin mir ziemlich sicher das er zumindest bei Catcher In The Rye…Gitarre spielt…vielleicht noch bei There was a time…hört sich zumindest manchmal nach ihm an…(die Versionen die ich kenne…)
aber gut das hat sich ja nun erledigt …finde ich ein bischen schade als alter!

"And everything I know is what I need to know and everything I do's been done before."May hat auf der Demo von ‚Catcher in the Rye‘ gespielt und noch auf ein paar anderen Songs, die aber nicht auf Chinese Democracy erscheinen werden. (Das Solo von ‚There was a time‘ stammt von Buckethead).
Hier der Kommentar von May zur Löschung seiner Beiträge:
[A reader has seen the sleeve notes of the long-awaited Chinese Democracy album, and wrote in that Brian wasn’t credited on Catcher In The Rye. See LETTERS.]
Ah … well, I did not know this ! Thanks, Thomas.
Well, it is a shame, perhaps … I did put quite a lot of work in, and was proud of it.
But I could understand if Axl wants to have an album which reflects the work of the members of the band as it is, right now.
I do have mixes of the tracks with my guitar on, work tapes at the time, but they will remain private, out of respect for Axl.
Thanks for your kind wishes, Thomas.
Cheers

In an ocean of noise, I first heard your voice. Now who here among us still believes in choice? - Not I!Ein Kommentar von Axl würde mich ja mal mehr interssieren. Naja, ein großer Fan von May bin ich nicht, er hat damals schon im Vorprogramm in Frankfurt eher gelangweilt als begeistert, von daher kein Drama.

Let’s get right to it: The first Guns n‘ Roses album of new, original
songs since the first Bush administration is a great, audacious, unhinged and uncompromising hard-rock record. In other words, it sounds a lot like the Guns n‘ Roses you know. At times, it’s the clenched-fist five that made 1987’s perfect storm, Appetite for Destruction; more often, it’s the one sprawled across the maxed-out CDs of 1991’s Use Your Illusion I and II, but here compressed into a convulsive single disc of supershred guitars, orchestral fanfares, hip-hop electronics, metallic tabernacle choirs and Axl Rose’s still-virile, rusted-siren singing.If Rose ever had a moment’s doubt or repentance over what Chinese Democracy has cost him in time (13 years), money (14 studios are listed in the credits) and body count — including the exit of every other founding member of the band — he left no room for it in these 14 songs. „I bet you think I’m doin‘ this all for my health,“ Rose cracks through the saturation-bombing guitars in „I.R.S.,“ one of several glancing references on the album to what he knows a lot of people think of him: that Rose, now 46, has spent the last third of his life running off the rails, in half-light. But when he snaps, „All things are possible/I am unstoppable,“ in the thumper „Scraped,“ that’s not loony hubris — just a good old rock & roll „fuck you,“ the kind that made him and the old band hot and famous in the first place.
Something else Rose broadcasts over and over on Chinese Democracy: Restraint is for suckers. There is plenty of familiar guitar firepower — the stabbing-dagger lick that opens the first track, „Chinese Democracy,“ the sand-devil fuzz in „Riad N‘ the Bedouins“ and the looping squeals over the grand anguish of „Street of Dreams.“ But what Slash and Izzy Stradlin used to do with two guitars now takes a wall of ‚em. On some tracks, Rose has up to five guys — Robin Finck, Buckethead, Paul Tobias, Ron „Bumblefoot“ Thal and Richard Fortus — riffing and soloing in broad, saw-toothed blurs. And that’s no drag. I still think the wild, superstuffed „Oh My God“ — the early Chinese Democracy track wasted on the 1999 End of Days soundtrack — beats everything on Guns n‘ Roses‘ 1993 covers album, The Spaghetti Incident?
Most of these songs also go through multiple U-turns in personality, as if Rose kept trying new approaches to a hook or a bridge and then decided, „What the hell, they’re all cool.“ „Better“ starts with what sounds like hip-hop voicemail — severely pinched guitar, drum machine and a near-falsetto Rose („No one ever told me when/I was alone/They just thought I’d know better“) — before blowing up into vintage Sunset Strip wallop. „If the World“ has Buckethead plucking acoustic Spanish guitar over a blaxploitation-film groove, while Rose shows that he still holds a long-breath vowel — part torture victim, part screaming jet — like no other rock singer.
And there is so much going on in „There Was a Time“ — strings and Mellotron, a full-strength choir and Rose’s overdubbed sour-growl harmonies, wah-wah guitar and a false ending (more choir) — that it’s easy to believe Rose spent most of the past decade on that arrangement alone. But it is never a mess, more like a loud mass of bad memories and hard lessons. In the first lines, Rose goes back to a beginning much like his own — „Broken glass and cigarettes/ Writin‘ on the wall/It was a bargain for the summer/An‘ I thought I had it all“ — then piles on the wreckage along with the orchestra and guitars. By the end, it’s one big melt of missing and kiss-off („If I could go back in time . . . But I don’t want to know it now“). If this is the Guns n‘ Roses that Rose kept hearing in his head all this time, it is obvious why two guitars, bass and drums were never going to be enough.
It is plain, too, that he thinks this Guns n‘ Roses is a band, as much as the one that recorded „Welcome to the Jungle,“ „Sweet Child O‘ Mine,“ „Used to Love Her“ and „Civil War.“ The voluminous credits that come with Chinese Democracy certainly give detailed credit where it is due. My favorite: „Initial arrangement suggestions: Youth on ‚Madagascar.“ Rose takes the big one — „Lyrics N‘ Melodies by Axl Rose“ — but shares full-song bylines with other players on all but one track. Bassist Tommy Stinson plays on nearly every song, and keyboardist Dizzy Reed, the only survivor from the Illusion lineup, does the Elton John-style piano honors on „Street of Dreams.“
But Rose still sings a lot about the power of sheer, solitary will even when he throws himself into a bigger fight, like „Chinese Democracy.“ In „Madagascar,“ which Rose has played live for several years now, he samples both Dr. Martin Luther King’s „I have a dream“ speech and dialogue from Cool Hand Luke. And at the end of the album, on the bluntly titled „Prostitute,“ Rose veers from an almost conversational tenor, over a ticking-bomb shuffle, to five-guitar barrage, orchestral lightning and righteous howl: „Ask yourself/Why I would choose/To prostitute myself/To live with fortune and shame.“ To him, the long march to Chinese Democracy was not about paranoia and control. It was about saying „I won’t“ when everyone else insisted, „You must.“ You may debate whether any rock record is worth that extreme self-indulgence. Actually, the most rock & roll thing about Chinese Democracy is he doesn’t care if you do.

„Wir hatten zwei Beutel Gras, 75 Kügelchen Meskalin, fünf Löschblattbögen extrastarkes Acid, einen Salzstreuer halbvoll mit Kokain und ein ganzes Spektrum vielfarbiger Uppers, Downers, Heuler, Lacher, einen Liter Tequila, eine Flasche Rum, eine Kiste Bier, einen halben Liter Äther und zwei Dutzend Poppers. Nicht, dass wir das alles für unsere Tour brauchten, aber wenn man sich erstmal vorgenommen hat, eine ernsthafte Drogensammlung anzulegen, dann neigt man dazu, extrem zu werden …“Yes, das liest sich doch schon mal verdammt gut! Mann, ich sitze auf heißen Kohlen :party:

Die erste Review. Sieht so cool aus, muss ich mal festhalten

Is this my life? Or am I just breathing underwater?So, die Saga geht weiter! :lol:
Nachdem Universal angekündigt hatte, dass die Single hierzulande am 11. November, also heute, erscheinen soll, kommt nun die Ernüchterung: Die Single ist nirgends zu bekommen.
Ich habe heute mittag diese Mail von Amazon bekommen:
Guten Tag,
wir versuchen noch immer, den / die folgenden Artikel, die Sie am 04. November 2008 20.29 MET bestellt haben (Bestellnummer #302-…), zu besorgen:
Guns N‘ Roses „Chinese Democracy (Trendsingle)“
Leider ist dieser Artikel schwer zu bekommen.
Schon irgendwie lustig. Da erscheint nach 14 Jahren das laut Universal ‚most highly anticipated rock albums in history‘ und die sind nicht in der Lage, die Single rechtzeitig in die Läden zu bekommen (auch Media Markt und Saturn haben heute keine Lieferungen bekommen).
:haue:

In an ocean of noise, I first heard your voice. Now who here among us still believes in choice? - Not I!Hehe, warum nur wundert mich das nicht. Gewöhnlich versandfertig in 1 bis 3 Wochen. Ah ja.

Es gibt die Single doch. Leider nur in sehr begrenzter Menge. Hier das Exemplar eines User der größten deutschen Guns n‘ Roses-Fanpage:
